He wasn't bad but the problem with Will Smith is all his characters are basically Will Smith. You can never look at him and not think thats Will Smith.

Will Smith was arguably the worst portrayal in this movie, he reflected none of Deadshot's personality traits. it was clearly a case will smith came into this movie doing will smith with zero research or understanding of the character.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan with Negans role in The Walking Dead is probably the only character resembling deadshots portrayal. (which is sad as a reference as i am not a fan of the walking dead series at all)
cara delevingne was the worst part of the movie period
but frankly all the characters were awful, Margot Robbie was probably the only actor playing true to her character if you were to excluded the beep sentimental moral values. -

He was OK, but he was just playing Will Smith in a Deadshot costume (much like almost every role he's ever played). The worst part is that they sacrificed so much focus on the other character just to feed Smith's ego.

That wasn't the issue. The characterization of Deadshot was wrong. It was that the character was retooled from a cold-blooded assassin to a guy with a heart of gold who happened to kill people for money, coupled with an actor who was just playing a variation of himself. The skin color wasn't the problem here.
Logan, buddy. It's me, Deadpool! I shot youuuuuu. -

Precisely. A good example of an ethnicity swap that actually works (in a similarly muddled mess of a project I may add) is Hugo Strange in Gotham. To my amazement, I never notice Wong's race at all, I merely see Professor Strange. If they were to say that they'd opened the auditions to men of all races and B.D. Wong was simply the best for the role, I would completely believe it.
Will Smith was brought into this to play Will Smith and prop the B.O. Nothing more was expected, and nothing more was delivered. -

No. He acted almost nothing like Floyd Lawton, presumably because of his ridiculous narcissistic contractual stipulations about protecting his image. The differences between his Deadshot and any other typical Will Smith character require a microscope to be seen.
